The Department of Health and Human Services proposed last-minute legislation Friday that would allow hospitals – in addition to the state – to detain mental health patients in their emergency rooms for up to three days to determine whether they could be treated without an involuntary admission to the state hospital.
Hospitals, which like other mental health advocates say they were not consulted, fear the proposal would perpetuate long emergency room waits and make them a party to the boarding crisis the state Supreme Court recently called unlawful.
“(It) essentially continues the practice of allowing patients suffering an acute psychiatric crisis to be held in hospital emergency departments while awaiting transfer to New Hampshire Hospital or other facility appropriate for their care,” said Steve Ahnen, president and CEO of New Hampshire Hospital Association.
